I think the original poster's problem stemmed from using wildcards
(as in the example given later using xargs or something).  Of course
doing "mail -f file u...@fqdn" is something that someone may want to do
at times, since one may want access to the messages in "file" using
tilde-escapes.  But with the H option this would not make sense, and
that is the complaint.

Having said that, though, the original user perhaps should look into
filename completion.
